Wipeout: Create & Crash (3DS, Wii, Wii U, 360)

WIPEOUT_BOXThe popular TV obstacle course game show (is it even still on?) is back in video game form for the fourth time! The previous games kind of ‘wiped out’ so to speak, but they may have hit the right mark with this one. Not only does this entry have better controls and endless amounts of obstacles and courses, but now you can create your own challenges, too! It’s available for 3DS, Wii, Wii U, and 360, but reviewed on 3DS here.

Rune Factory 4 (3DS)

RUNE_BOXThe latest in the unique spinoff of Harvest Moon is here! In Rune Factory 4, you play as a guy or girl who plummets from the sky, but luckily lands safely on a friendly dragon on the ground below. Unfortunately, you lose your memory in the process, but the dragon mistakes you as the new ruler of the town. So now it’s up to you to cultivate the land, revitalize the town, make new friends, and maybe even find true love. All the while trying to solve the mystery of why you fell from the sky in the first place by battling (and befriending) monsters, and exploring secret dungeons!

Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness (PS3)

D2_BOXDisgaea is kind of the flagship series for game maker NIS. Their newest game, on PS3 for retail and download on PSN, is actually a direct sequel to the first game featuring the returning cast. As opposed to the other sequel which had new characters. So if you enjoyed the madcap adventures of Laharl, Flonne, and all the Prinnies, then you may want to check out this latest entry in the strategy RPG series. Play as the newly appointed demon overlord Laharl as he scours the netherworld looking for any opposing demons trying to usurp his throne! Since Laharl is just a bratty kid, you can bet he has a lot of opposers in the demon world!

Type:Rider (iPad)

TYPE_BOXI really enjoy playing and reviewing games on my iPad, but rarely do I play an iPad game and after finishing it think “Wow, what a GREAT game!” But Type:Rider was an exception. This game is an amazing experience, and a good example if you want to argue that video games can be art. The game is an odd mix of a puzzle platformer, and a history lesson on typography and the study of fonts and printing. Yes, really. (Type:Rider is available for iOS and Android, but reviewed on iPad here)
